Permanency Services

Connecting children and youth to forever homes.
Family Foster Care Permanency
Our team strives to find permanency for children in foster care. Reunification with a biological caregiver is always the goal; however, if it’s determined that they can’t fulfill their parental duties, other placement opportunities are assessed.

ADOPTION SERVICES

We help facilitate the adoption of foster children alongside State of Illinois child welfare agencies. Adoptions are carefully organized over time, and a case worker helps foster parents, biological parents, and adoptive parents understand their role through the process.

Guardianship / Kinship
If a family member of a foster child is willing and able to care for the child, guardianship can be considered. Our foster case manager works with State of Illinois child welfare representatives to successfully transition the child into the family member or guardian’s care.
